[...] glass dust, which they believe blows over from the Strategic Materials glass recycling plant next door, is making them sick.

Shouldn't a recycling plant be, um, recycling the glass into new products instead of just dumping it in huge piles? Seems that even filling a sinkhole or dumping it on a hurricane-eroded beach would be better than their current plan.

The problem with recycling glass is that turning back into bottles is dumb, it takes just as much energy as it would to melt sand into new glass. About the only use for recycled glass is as a filler in other substances where you don't actually remelt the glass down. For example, recycled glass countertops and whatnot. It's not like aluminum where traditional recycling actually makes sense.

You're just homeless and pissed off at the fact that it's a lot easier and more profitable to pick up soda cans on the side of the road than glass bottles.
